Trump announces FBI director nominee
-- One day before former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee, President Trump announced who he wanted as Comey's replacement.

I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow.

Christopher Wray is the former assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's criminal division. He served in that role from 2003-2005 under President George W. Bush's administration.

Comey, who was fired by Trump in May, is expected to provide insight into the investigation into possible Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election and the probe of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
